My deepest condolences to Jim´s family and friends.... Jim was one of my best friends from back in days at Immaculate Conception School in Bellevue . For most all of our 7th and 8th grade years we were together either walking the tracks and hopping trains behind his house or in his basement working on his huge Lionel train layout.

Jim was as true railroader. His love for trains and railroading started early in life and never left him; particularly his fondness for all things New York Central and Penn Central. As a kid he managed to talk switching crews into taking him for rides in the caboose... Imagine that today!!!. Jim was also a true Cleveland Indians fan and loved the Ghoulardi and Hoolihan and Big Chuck shows. Jim will be missed by his many friends and co- workers....

Jimmy, until we meet again...keep it on the tracks and on time!!
